Thick snare sound with plenty of body at all tunings. Excellent for fat rock settings. However, there are no thin and crisp metal attack at high tuning.
Please, forgive and don't comment my playing. This is snare drum
sound check only. Thanks. :-)
I disagree completey! 1. read the description again, I am not goint to discuss about playing. 2. sound is very subjective thing, only importance is to drum to be tuned to itself. 3. - this recording solution is the best one, your idea with cell phone is, to put it gently, so wrong! 4. If you dislike something, don't comment it. That is my rule Sorry.-(
